No, you do not need a tech-pack to get started. You can provide the measurements of your fit model, or provide samples of similar garments with the fit you like. We can also schedule an appointment to take the measurements of you, a friend, or your fit model to create a spec-sheet.
Apparel Production creates a 1st pattern and pre-production sample upon committing to a production order. The 1st pattern is free of charge, with production orders meeting our MOQs. It is an initial upfront charge but is later rebated or applied to your production order. However, free pre-production samples cannot be created until we have received the production order deposit.
If you would like a sample before putting in a production order, we can accommodate that request —
While we can technically produce a finished sample for any garment, the cost of a sample can be prohibitively expensive in small orders. In small-run orders, it is simply not cost-effective to request a sample. If you want a sample, no matter what, please be aware of the cost. We usually deny requests for creating samples for orders that cannot meet our MOQs.
The cost of production is dependent on many variables, including fabric weight, consumption, production location, quantity, and construction of the garment. We cannot provide a blanket cost estimate for any garment without specific garment details or viewing the construction and fabric. Please refer to our Request a Quote form and provide the required details to receive a fair cost estimate.
Our team of designers, and pattern makers assist with initial garment development to create your spec-sheet, 1st pattern, and pre-production sample. Included in the full production package is: 1st pattern, cut & sew sample, fittings, grading, marking, pattern corrections, fabric sourcing, production, cost of fabric and trim, freight, duty and tariffs if produced overseas.
We do not offer artwork creation or artwork design services. For the best possible results, we recommend pursuing someone with a specialty in art, design, and logo creation.
Our factory only offers cut and sew, patchwork, and embroidery for mass production, though our factories have the high-tech machinery required to produce all forms of graphic designs, embroidery, patchwork, screen and digital printing, and many more. While fabric sourcing, we can provide close-match pantones, or custom-dyed fabric at a minimum of 300 yards.
You will always receive a proof of your order before it is put into production. We do not print, sublimate, embroider, or otherwise create anything without your express, written approval.
Please review your proofs carefully. Look over all the information listed within the proof, review the images carefully, and request changes with anything you are not happy with.
If you need changes made to your items, please let us know upon receipt of your proof. We cannot be held responsible for mistakes and errors that occur if you have approved production without carefully reviewing your proof information.
If you do not need changes to your proof, please reply to the e-mail and let us know you approve your proof for production. Remember, we cannot move forward with production until we have received written approval of a proof.
How long does it take to get back to me regarding a quote or other contact?
Simple contact inquiries are answered usually with in 24 hours (excluding weekends, holidays, and other closures). More complex inquiries like cut and sew manufacturing or dye-sublimation printing can take up to three days.
Order turnaround is impossible to precisely estimate without the details of a given project: turnaround times can depend on the services rendered and the complexity of the order. The average turnaround to develop your first sample is about 5 – 10 days after we’ve received your fabric, and depending on the number of corrections. Upon production, after our tables are set and fabrics are marked and cut, it’s about 2 – 3 weeks of production time. This does not include the estimated shipping time for your order. Shipments take 2 days for Europe – 3 days for USA by UPS Express.
Your order turnaround time begins when payment has been processed. Please take this into consideration when determining your ship dates.
The initial cost of garment development including: 1st pattern, cut & sew sample, fittings, grading, marking, and pattern corrections are all upfront costs to begin your pre-production sample. These costs vary per style, and must be paid in full before we begin start working on your project. The cost of the 1st pattern is paid upfront and later rebated or applied to your total production order.
A deposit of 50% is required before production begins. The balance of your order is required before we release your finished products to you.
